    Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:
    Package Managers! Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can.
    Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?

    I'm reminded of a sound clip from the multiplayer games of Return to Castle Wolfenstein (a source of much distraction in college). This is best done with a heavy Arnold Schwarzenegger accent:

    "I'm an engineeeuh!"

    Congrats.

    Well done Geordie lad. I know how much effort goes into getting those posts in there.

    Nothing like getting that Engineer rank twice

    Probably a post in a removed thread?
